B. Taxation contingencies The taxation system in Cambodia is characterised by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation, which is often unclear, contradictory, and subject to interpretation. Often, differing interpretations exist among numerous

taxation authorities and jurisdictions. Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, who

are enabled by law to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges.

These facts may create tax risks in Cambodia substantially more significant than in other countries. Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation. However, the

relevant authorities may have different interpretations and the effects could be significant.

26. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Fair value represents the amount at which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled on an arm’s length

basis. As verifiable market prices are not available, market prices are not available for a significant proportion of the

Company’s financial assets and liabilities. Fair values, therefore, have been based on management assumptions

according to the profile of the asset and liability base. In the opinion of the management, the carrying amounts of

the financial assets and liabilities included in the statement of financial position are a reasonable estimation of their

fair values.
